Summary

Hide ▲

Microsoft has updated its Quantum-Safe Program (QSP) roadmap, aiming to make its products and services quantum-safe by 2033. The roadmap outlines a phased transition strategy to integrate post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into core products and services. Early deployment of quantum-safe capabilities is expected by 2029, with default enablement in subsequent years. The updated roadmap includes three phases: integrating foundational security components, core infrastructure services, and all services and endpoints. Microsoft has already integrated PQC algorithms into SymCrypt, a cryptographic library used across Windows, Azure, and Microsoft 365. The company is also focusing on updating foundational components in its infrastructure services and plans to roll out PQC algorithms into all services and endpoints starting in 2027.
